Is California Going to Ban Smoking on Your Private Property?

The L.A.Daily News reports:

Secondhand smoke isn't just nasty, it's a toxic air pollutant, California air-quality regulators declared Thursday, clearing the way for tough new rules on smoking in public and private.

The unanimous decision by the California Air Resources Board was spurred by new research linking tobacco smoke to premature births, asthma and respiratory infections in children and breast cancer in premenopausal women. Activists say it could help resurrect proposals to ban smoking in cars when children are present and limit smoking in apartment complexes.

"The ARB's action rightfully puts secondhand smoke in the same category as the most toxic automotive and industrial air pollutants," said Joan Denton, director of the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. "Californians, especially parents, would not willingly fill their homes with motor-vehicle exhaust, and they should feel the same way about tobacco smoke."
